What is meant by higher-order thinking skills (HOTS)?

You will need the following resources:

Bloom's taxonomy is a hierarchy of skills that reflects growing
complexity and ability to use higher-order thinking skills. The
descriptions of the skills are listed in Bloom-descriptors.doc
. Try to put them in order of complexity. When you have done this,
and discussed what you think are the most challenging activites,
you might wish to look at the pyramid of skills known as Bloom's
taxonomy in this
NRICH article .

Think of a lesson you have recently given - what level of
thinking were you expecting of your pupils?

The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners. To support this aim, members of the
NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to
embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice. More information on many of our other activities
can be found here.
